The Villeret collection was named after the eponymous village where Jehan-Jacques Blancpain registered himself as a watchmaker in 1735.
It is the collection embodying the unique heritage of the Manufacture, harmoniously blending traditional and classic aesthetic with constant quest to develop and produce the finest quality of each component.
Ranging from time only to highly complicated timepieces, the Villeret collection celebrates Blancpain's history and longevity and are highly prized by collectors.
This very example, produced as a limited edition, captures all the distinctive codes while offering the practicality of an automatic movement. Furthermore, the 38mm case diameter allows an improved readability of the perpetual calendar and provides a more modern twist to the timeless design.
Cased in white gold with matching Roman numerals over a silvered dial, it is the perfect illustrations of understated haute horlogerie elegance and refinement.
